My toes we-e cramped and my knee joints were so stiff I had to have help to ge t my shoes on and off and sometimes my feet were so swollen I couldn't get my shoes on at all For two weeks I had to sit day and night in a chair with my head propped on a pillow My nerves were badly shatte-ed and I suffered so from pain and worry that it look, ed like there w ft . s no hope for me. “I tried all kinds of medicines hut nothing did me ary good until a friend suggested Tanlac. I have now ♦aken three bottles, I can lie down in bed now and sleep like a baby. I can walk down town, comb my hair or do most anything else I want to do and never have any pains from rheumatism_ My knee joints have quit hurting nu\ my toes have straight“ned out and I can hold a pen in my fingers to write My nerves have ouieted down and my mind is at rest *nr I fell such a wonderful ease of relief from being well again.” Tanlac is sol d in Greencastle at R.

He often invited me in the convent and even took me with lim scleral times to his sepulchre. While in the little room on my las' vi, it.

The record of Senator Tames T'T Watson, who is campaigning tor ro election to the senate hy alternate!: declaring that the I niied Slates never declared war on Germany and that “We should make a sennr.ate peace with German ." was plated under fire this week by a series of articles sent out ior publication by the Indiana Publicity Bureau. Watson is shown to have acted largely in accord with Senator Harding. whose primary campaign in In diana was nun aged by the Watson headquarters and whose nomination was brought about at Chicago through the influence of Watson and other members of lh“ famous "cabal.” On many important measures, par•icularly those relating to prohibition and patriotic measures, Watson found it convenient to he absent anil he is credited with not voting on 165 out of •iou roll calls Opposed War Prohibition For instance the Indiana senate-, •long with Harding, voted against an amendment regarding the u*,- of liquor iu military establishments and both voted to table an amendment otTorcd hy Underwood which would have included members of Congt 'r.a within the provisions of the army prohibition act. lie failed tn vote when the fleed amendment prevent ing the sale of intoxicating liquors w is passed op. Harding and Watson supported a motion to strike out th» provision preventing the use of tigricultura! products in the manufacture of in-toii-atlng liquors, and both opposed Sheppard s amendment to have the Reed hone -iry law apply to the District of Col'imhia. Watson, of course, supported *n amendment offered hy Nat ii to make i he constii titional proli li t ion amendment inoperative tin is ad >pt ml hy the required n'lm 1 or of states before Iff;':’ and both of the ."tutors voted for a measure that would require Ihe government tn uay damages to proper! employed in the •manufacture of liquor. On patriotic measures the Indiana senator opposed 'lie administration prepare in • is hill before war u as declared. ai. hough since he has !i>d a good deal lo say about wliut he terms wm th* la. k nf preparation for war. He also voted against the e.; h’ hment of a National Council of Defense, the creation of the United States Shiiiping Hoard, the hill to erect a government plant Ao rn. nu facture armor plate and the wire con-

trol hill

Failed on War Vote. For some reason Watson failed to vote when the I nlted States tle< lared war on Austria)'ungary. lie supported a resolution authorizing the I’-esideni to prescribe rttlea for the censorsltip of the nres* during the war, ami rob'd againal an amend ment lo prevent disclosure of information regarding military operations, and also opposed that part of the •spionsge act that placed heavy flues upon persons guilt of disloyal and seditious acts and utterances. lie was absent when a hill was introduced giving all aoldiers. sailors and marines who are permanently helplesa lino a month and lie opposed an amendmeni providing that no civil service examination should he requited of wives of military men applying for positions with the government during the war He also failed to vote when .Senator Smoot made a motion to proceed tn the ronsidera tlon of a hill increasing the rates of pensions for soldiers ami sailors of th<» Civil war The senators antipathy to labar was evidenced hy his vote for the antl-strlk* clause In the Each-Cum-mins railroad hill md his support of ♦ he stop-watch system in government plants. He failed to vote on the Adamson eight hour law along with

Harding.

He was again “absent" when the chlhi labor law was passed and also did not vote on a bill designed to “protect the live*, health and morals of women nnd minor workers tn the District of Columbia and to provide for the tUfng of a minimum wage for auch workers “ Opposed Sugar Grant. Watson is having a good deal to say to the farmers and in particular is criticizins the administration for the high price of sugar. Yet when President Wilson asked congress for authority to purchase the Cuban sugar croji Watson voted against considering the graaf He also opposed government relief in the shape of small loans to farm ers In drought-stricken regions and failed to cast his ballot on a. hill designed to create a standard form ot Investments on farm mortgages He stood by the Lodge reservation? to the league of nations, but opposed others that meant aubatantiany the * same thing. Since taking the stumi' | Watson, along with Harding, ha. “scrapped the league.'’ and is has ing his plea for re election on a sepa fate peace.
